This weeks topic is Transform, time with God will transform your heart" Here are some practical ways to spend time with God in the first few weeks and months of motherhood.

🌿 Spending Time With God as a New Mom

Life with a newborn is holy, exhausting, and full of tiny moments where God meets you right where you are. If you’re in the thick of feeds, contact naps, and survival mode, here are simple ways to stay connected:

✨ Micro‑devotions: Read one verse while nursing, pumping, or warming a bottle.
✨ Fill your home with truth: Play worship or an audio Bible during feeds, naps, or walks.
✨ One‑sentence prayers: “Lord, give me strength for this moment.”
✨ Make one feeding a sacred moment: Pray over your baby or meditate on a single verse.
✨ Choose simple Bible plans: Short readings or Psalms are perfect for this season.
✨ End your day with a breath prayer: Inhale “You are my rest.” Exhale “I trust You.”
✨ Invite God into the ordinary: Rocking, diaper changes, dishes — it all becomes worship.
✨ Give yourself grace: God isn’t disappointed. He delights in you right here.

You don’t need long quiet times to be close to Him. He’s already in every moment with you.
